Royal Rumble Sets Up WrestleMania XXX To Be A Letdown

A friend asked me if I didn’t see Batista’s win coming. I did and I didn’t. I figured he’d have a “good” return but not the big win. He could draw the same amount of money for Wrestlemania if he had a normal mid-card match with anyone, so this is actually not “Best for Business.” By having him headline, they’re saying a big fuck you to all the fans. Bryan went from the internet wrestling community’s favorite wrestler, to the undeniable “it” guy, the guy who can carry the company, the “chosen” one… by us. If we’re really a “universe” as they claim, then why don’t we have a say. I get it, someone is gonna read this and say, “it’s fake. shut up,” but when something is ruined…like Michael Bay directing TMNT and saying they’re aliens…there’s an emotional reaction. This is terrible writing that ruined the dream ending of having nearly 80 thousand people chant YES to a torch being passed.

The WWE listened to the fans when they elected Austin and the Rock as their kings in the late 90’s, but now…they feel like they can control us. We are almost expected to tune in no matter what. It’s upsetting. I honestly feel like selling my tickets. My first event ever was also my only Wrestlemania ever, which was WM21…and guess what…I had to sit through Batistia headlining one of the worst matches I’ve ever seen in person. At least at that time, Batista was loved by fans (not me), and now he’s not. They’ve got 70 days to fix this. They need to put Bryan in the elimination chamber, have him win it, and make the main event at WM a triple threat match. They need to pay attention to their fan base. I’m getting closer and closer to stopping to watch wrestling.
